Hothouse Flower Calloway Sisters #2

​Ryke Meadows, meet Daisy Calloway ... she’s all grown up. Twenty-five-year-old Ryke Meadows knows he’s hard to love. With a billion-dollar inheritance, a track-star resume, and an alpha-male personality—he redefines the term likable asshole. But he’s not living to make friends. Or enemies. He just wants to free climb three of the toughest mountains in Yosemite without drama or interruption. And then he receives a distressed call from a girl in Paris—a girl that he has never been allowed to have. Daisy Calloway is eighteen. Finally. With her newfound independence, she can say goodbye to her overbearing mother and continue her modeling career. Next stop, Paris. Fashion Week begins with a bang, and Daisy uncovers the ugly reality of the industry. She wants to prove to her family that she can live on her own, but when everything spirals out of control, she turns to Ryke to keep her secrets. As Daisy struggles to make sense of this new world and her freedom, she pushes the limits and fearlessly rides the edge. Ryke knows there’s deep hurt beneath every impulsive action. He must keep up with Daisy, and if he lets her go, her favorite motto—“live as if you’ll die today”—may just come true.

4/5 Yes, I cried. “I love you, Dais, because you’re the wildest fucking girl with the biggest fucking heart. And without you in my life”—he shakes his head like it’s an inconceivable picture—“I’d be the unhappiest fucking guy.” ”She smiles and says, “You’re my favorite four-letter word.”

I liked this book more than I expected because I am kind of uncomfortable with Ryke and Daisy's relationship since she was a minor in the previous books, however, I can't help but fall for them. Their relationship was so cute and fun, and you could see how much they mean to each other. Their relationship was the bestfriend type of couples (if that makes sense). They understand each other, and I loved seeing it. Despite all these though, I kind of skipped the spicy parts because it still did make me uncomfortable because of the circumstance of them meeting when she was a minor. Moreover, I also loved how we got to explore the sibling relationships, and I loved seeing how Ryke mended his relationship with his father. I liked the character development and how both of them flourished for being with each other. I LOVE reading about Lily and Lo, and of course, Connor and Rose, my favorite couple in the series.

** spoiler alert ** This was a ride, for sure. I still don't like Ryke. Have I come to appreciate him? Yes. Do I like him? No. Daisy Calloway on the other hand. I love her! In the beginning, she was kinda eh to me considering she wasn't seen much, but now..I saw how strong & courageous she was. When she described what her friends did to her..my heart literally broke for her. She definitely deserved better. I don't like Raisy..and I most likely never will, so yeah there's that. It wasn't the best book at all, but there were some good parts tbf. Honestly, the only people who made this book bearable for me was Daisy, Lilo & Connor & Rose. So..yeah there's that.

i love ryke and daisy's relationship even with the age gap. i like how they were friends before the were lovers. they were both there for each other at whatever battle they were going through which is so important to have. you can also tell they love each other.

I cried a lot. (view spoiler)[ This book focuses more on Daisy and Ryke as well as their own demons. Ryke and his insecurities of not being good enough for Daisy, his brother, and overall love. Daisy and her traumas along with surviving the cruel modeling world. Just heartbreaking!! I teared up so much for Daisy omg that poor girl Towards the end, it was a lot of DRAMMAA - love it! I teared up at the end (honestly when did I not tear uppp) with Ryke and Lo - where Lo finally accepted Ryke as his brother/family and Ryke seeing progress in Lo's health (hide spoiler)]

Favourite couple!!! This book was my favourite so far. I can't even explain how much I loved it. “You’re a hothouse flower. You can’t grow under natural conditions. You need adventure. And security and love in order to stay alive.”

Not gonna lie...starting this book I wasn't exactly thrilled cos I'm not ryke's biggest fan but I love daisy ..a lot I think maybe more than lily, Rose is my number 1 no question about that but I think I enjoyed this book more cos of how brutally honest she had to be with her family in the end ....especially with her mother ( God that felt good), it can be suffocating having controlling parents and I liked how much rose and the rest of the merry band accepted her reasons for being quiet so long an giving her the chance to explain I'm happy about the development of course especially with Loren bless his fucking heart , but most especially i think I needed this book because of the Hales ...so much bad blood was there for a long time it felt good to have them in a good place again ...especially for Ryke and his dad ....I enjoyed this

I’m going to build a relationship with her father, even if it means having to get closer to mine. It’s a sacrifice I am willing to make a thousand times over. I’d fucking call that love.

“He said that I could be anything and do anything, and no one can stop me but me.” I say what he did, “You are your own anchor, Ryke. When you fail, you hurt yourself more than anyone else. Do you want to keep burning or are you going to let yourself rise?”

“It’s closer.” She pinches her nose and gags dramatically. “Maybe it’s your own stench,” Lo says, holding Lily to his chest like she’s a part of him, a piece that had been missing this whole time. He seems happier. “Bitch No. 5.” Rose points a threatening finger at him, manicured and blood red. “You insult Chanel and my heel will find your asshole in a millisecond, Loren.” “Oooh,” Loren mock cringes. “I didn’t know you could move that fast with your she-devil hooves.”

I would trade it all to be with him, but I have a feeling there will be no price for my mom. She’ll keep us apart at any cost.
